The root of everything

Why are you so afraid of silence,

silence is the root of everything.

If you spiral into its void,

a hundred voices will thunder

messages you long to hear.

~ Rumi

 

It is an axiomatic fact that while you meditate you are speaking with your own spirit. In that state of mind you put certain questions to your spirit and the spirit answers: the light breaks forth and the reality is revealed.

~`Abdu’l-Bahá
